Any reccomendations for a place to take my beloved?

Just want a tune and a balance of the carbs.

She has a sneeze every now and then if you give her too much guts under 7k.

After an honest mechanic that wont just look at my bikes shitty exterior and assume i only need a shitty job done on the tune.

I Brought the bike cheap and rough and dont see need nor purpose in tidying her up.

I recon you can do a pretty decent job with a homemade manometer. There are a few videos on youtube showing how to make one. Basically it is just four equal lengths of clear plastic tubes joined at the bottom and filled with two stroke oil. Then mount em on a piece of wood plank. Then attach the ends to the carb vacuum ports and at a fast idle they should be drawing vacuum equally.

I am just too cheap to pay some bloke five hundred dollars to turn a couple of screws and then sit on his arse. But its up to you I guess.
